Killarney's Agricultural Society has picked up a $20,000 grant to help construct a new building at the fair grounds.

Richardson International has donated money to the project.

Wally Mitchell is President of the Killarney Agricultural Society. He appreciates the support and says the new building being constructed in the fair grounds is badly needed to help host a number of community events.

Work will start later this year on the $200,000 project.
